The overlay trick at the end is really useful! I've lost count of all the times I've had to manually try to carefully fill in those areas in the past without messing up the edges.

@IAMRENSI Ай бұрын

Same for me back in the days. This is a game changer! No more messing up edges ;)

Small tip for the panning with the mouse: you can also hold the middle mouse button. Works with a pen too if you assign it to one of the buttons. Great tip with the overlay blendmode btw. I never would've thought about using that in a mask layer

Thanks for the tip, Michele! Honestly, I don't really use the pen buttons (neither a mouse) but maybe I should haha. Cheers!

Huge thanks, the overlay fix for the edges is just what I needed.

Great video I really like the overlay at the end to really refine the selection. I am going to do this in future. your videos are so clear to follow. Thanks !

What about mixing two tools, the pen tool and the refine tool. Let’s say you need to cutout a character with bushy hair. The body can be easily cut out with the pen tool, without having to deal with grey borders etc. But the hair needs to be dealt with the Smart Selection tool and the refine tool. I couldn’t figure out how to mix both tools. Is there a way to do it ?

@PhiddyPford Ай бұрын

The overlay trick DOES have one issue, Do not set overlay in your layers panel, it will not work, But set it from above and it works on both sides of the mask by switching colors.

@IAMRENSI Ай бұрын

Good call! In the layers panel you set the blend mode of the layer. You want to change the blend mode of the brush!

@pedropuckerstein4670 Ай бұрын

I learned from the end of the video regarding overlay to tackle the half transparent pixels on the inside. Is there a similar setting for sharpening the pixels on the outside ? I tried a few combinations and couldn't find one that worked .....

@IAMRENSI Ай бұрын

Happy to hear that! For the outside is the same technique, but you use black as foreground color! It isn’t really sharpening, but rather better defining the mask. Hope this helps 😊

@pedropuckerstein4670 Ай бұрын

Yes, of course black, but some blend mode didn't seem to work for me. Will try again. I thought different blend mode was needed. Very good tutorial.

I wish affinity photo just had the auto selection option like in photoshop

@IAMRENSI 28 күн бұрын

That would be a game changer indeed! Until then, we got to do it with what we have 😅

@aaronmervin4601 Ай бұрын

BIG WISH!!! Hello sir, I just found and subscribed to your page. I think your great videos would be even better if we could play along instead of just watching you. Any chance you can create a folder or link that you could load the images you are using in the video, maybe even the special brushes you use so that we can actually work WITH you while you teach us??? I guarantee you more people would watch and watch longer and probably even multiple times for practice.

Hey Aaron, welcome to the channel! Thanks for your suggestion. Will see what I can do for future tutorials! 🙌

Can you change the red overlay color to a different color?

Yes, black, white and transparent

As far as I know, you can’t. But I have to admit that I never really looked into it. So I might be wrong

Affinity needs to add a SMOOTH option when making selections.

@jeanrenaudviers Ай бұрын

Already has...

@Michael-fw5ef Ай бұрын

@@jeanrenaudviers How to smooth selection? Please advise. I tried finding it, but couldn't. I only saw the feather option and the contract and expand option.

@IAMRENSI Ай бұрын

You can smoothen selection by going the Menu bar > Select > Smooth. This should do the trick 👊🏼

@Michael-fw5ef Ай бұрын

@@IAMRENSI I already unistalled the software and got a refund. I wish Affinity had put the SMOOTH option in the Refine dialogue box, with the feathering and Contract/Expand slider.

Another example of a Clickbait header. Nobody in their videos demonstrates an EASY way to remove the background in a low-detailed photo without difference in depth of field between the background and the main subject. And all of demonstrated techniques are in the official Affinity tutorials.

@IAMRENSI 5 күн бұрын

Don't really see how this is clickbait. It doesn't get much easier than this ;) But if you prefer the official Affinity tutorials, have fun watching them!
